"Perched on a kopje with sweeping views over Malilangwe Dam, this intimate retreat comprises eight light suites and a private villa with outdoor showers and elevated pool-deck views. Activities span tag-and-release fishing, birding, ecology-focused walks, dam cruises and game drives that regularly produce elephants, buffalo and sightings of wild dog and big cats. The operation employs an entirely local team, showcases tribal crafts, and runs hands-on cultural tours and community and conservation initiatives including farming, school-feeding schemes and anti-poaching patrols." - Jane Broughton
